The Land of Breathtaking Sunsets 
COVER "Golden" sunrise in Himalayas. Kingdom of Nepal.  JANUARY Russian winter, Moscow region. The river is still not bound by ice; yet, an unexpected strike of frost dressed the trees in a splendid, glittery garment.  FEBRUARY Dawn over the Bryce Canyon in late winter. Utah, USA. Frost still keeps its strength both morning and night, but the coral color of the clouds at dawn predicts an early thawing of the snow.  MARCH Frozen Sea of Ice. South Enylchek Glacier. Central Tien Shan Mountains, Kirghiz Republic. Looking like an ice-bound sea due to the glacial drifts of "waves", the glacier miraculously resembles a rhythmically breathing ocean at evening.  APRIL Sunrise over Volcanoes. Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. Klyuchevsky volcano 15,580 ft (4,750 m). This beautiful, basaltic stratovolcano(first from left), of an almost perfectly symmetrical, conical shape, is the highest active volcano in Eurasia and belongs to the Klyuchevskaya volcanic group which consists of 12 volcanoes.  MAY Sunset over Mt. Machhapuchhre. The Great Himalayas, Kingdom of Nepal. When the Nepalese people see such a blood-red sunset, they believe that the gods living on the sacred mountain Machhapuchhre are displeased. Therefore, it is time for prayers and sacrificial offerings.  JUNE Cliffs on the Pacific Coast of Mexico. Melted gold of the evening sunlight is flowing from behind the horizon, and only black, gloomy cliffs hold back its fearless stream.  JULY Sunset over the Pacific Ocean, Guatemala. A "classic" seascape: palms, the sun, the sea, and the golden skies above.  AUGUST Mountain fantasy of Southern China. There is only one place in the world where the mountain crests, covered with bamboo undergrowth, tower high, straight up from the plains, over which a roaring, ancient sea used to flow.  SEPTEMBER A Green Ray, Vietnam. The picture shows a rare light that nature has to offer - a green hue of the sky. This optical phenomenon occurs very seldom and only under specific atmospheric conditions. Such a phenomenon can be seen in the moment when the sun’s disk seems to touch the surface of the ocean. t is said that one can see this “green ray” only once in a lifetime.  OCTOBER Sunset on the Yellow Sea's shore. South Korea. A fabulously beautiful tropical sunset painted the sky and ocean in a dense, red hue.  NOVEMBER Sunset over the Far East. Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. Does wild nature stand a chance?  DECEMBER High Mountains. The great Himalayas, Northern India. A snow storm came down to the high mountains. The drifting clouds darkened the last gleams, and within a few minutes a heavy weight of the falling snow will hit the thin walls of the tent.  BACK COVER Annapurna Sunset. Great Himalayas, Kingdom of Nepal The sunset of a divine beauty over Mt. Annapurna praised by Maurice Herzog in his poetry "Annapurna - Premier 8000". The most magnificent sunset in the world that had ever reflected itself in the lenses of the author’s camera. |
